At the end of the event, Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic was crowned by the previous winner Karolina Bielawska of Poland. This is the second win by the Czech Republic at the pageant.

Contestants from 112 countries and territories competed in the pageant. The pageant was co-hosted by Karan Johar and Miss World 2013, Megan Young. Shaan, Neha Kakkar, Tony Kakkar, and Miss World 2019 Toni-Ann Singh performed in this edition.

On 13 February 2023, Julia Morley, Chairperson of the Miss World Organization, announced that the competition will take place in the United Arab Emirates in May 2023. Morley added, "Further details to follow".

On 8 June 2023, the organization announced that the competition will move from the United Arab Emirates to India, with no reason given for the venue change. It was the second time the pageant was held in India; the first being Miss World 1996. On 28 September 2023, the organization announced that the pageant would be held on 16 December 2023 at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, Delhi, India. It was later postponed until 2 March 2024, due to the elections in India.

On 19 January 2024, the organization announced the pageant would be held on 9 March 2024 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The pageant began on 18 February 2024.

Contestants from 112 countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. Four of them are runners-up after the withdrawal of the original contestant in their respective countries and territories, and three selected after another national pageant was held to replace the original dethroned winner.

Sreypich Teng was announced as Miss World Cambodia and competed instead of Sovattey Sary due to the delay of the pageant. Poelano Mothisi, the first runner-up in Miss Lesotho 2021, was appointed to represent her country as the original winner Refiloe Lefothane was unavailable due to continuing her studies abroad. Daria Gapska, Miss Northern Ireland was replaced by Kaitlyn Clarke, the reigning titleholder, as her reign had elapsed. Lucía Arellano was crowned as the new Miss World Peru 2022, replacing Jennifer Barrantes who was dethroned for not fulfilling the obligations stipulated in her contract. Barrantes has denied these claims and stated that there has been a conflict between her and the organization which has caused her withdrawal. Lucy Thomson, Miss Scotland 2022, was replaced by Chelsie Allison as her reign had elapsed.
